Municipalities in the state of Goiás are implementing regulatory reforms to streamline licensing processes through self-declaration and automated systems.

Goiânia has introduced measures to simplify environmental licensing for approximately 1,000 low and medium-risk economic activities. Under these rules, low-risk activities receive automatic licenses, while medium-risk enterprises utilize a self-declaratory model subject to later inspection. The city is also investing over R$ 300 million in hardware and plans to implement artificial intelligence for project analysis by October.

Similarly, Aparecida de Goiânia has enacted a decree to simplify licensing for low-risk single-family residential constructions. Property owners can use a self-declaration system via an electronic platform to obtain building permits and occupancy certificates without prior analysis of urban parameters by City Hall. To ensure compliance, the municipality intends to perform fiscal audits on at least 20% of all self-declared permits each month through document reviews and on-site inspections.
